Tweet

Well it is about time. But the day has come to tear down my coupe from mock up!
It is kinda hard to take it all apart after building it. But i have tryed to get everything done so i wount have to cut or weld my frame at all after powdercoat.
I hope it goes together much faster then the 1st time

Having just gone through it, reinstalling freshly painted parts with new bolts is really the fun part of the build. Post some pictures for us please.

I can relate to this one, went through the very same pain a couple of months ago, might I offer you a suggestion........................... take pictures to remind yourself that it was once a complete car. I do not know about you but when I look at the truck (in my case) sitting around , parts all over. I use the pictures to remind me how cool the project is and that it is completed, except for the finial finish, but that is in PROGRESS

Takin' apart is the easy part. The final assembly is the funnist part, if you can (a) find all the parts (b) remember how all the pieces go together.
Drivin' it is the best part.

Oh that's an easy one, just keep all the parts for the project in one place, and in assembly groups, ie , frame , body, think of it as your own assembly line if you build it and fab it , it is a no brainer. A little organization goes along way, like keeping your room clean when you were a kid , remember those days? learn anything?
